We tell all our owners to have a puppy pen so the established dog has quality time out & pup has its safe zone,sleep zone & the not over doing it zone . We don't encourage owners to bring there current dog as we feel its an important time taking pup home .Place older dog inside & allow pup the freedom to walk about toilet without the overwhelming experince of the older dog. Hopefully you have put the hard yards in with the older dog around other dogs so it has good manners .

I think the OP has to be exaggerating the amount of exercise as no Bullmastiff pup i have ever meet could do that distance at that age daily without the owner seriously dragging it . And aggressive Bullmastiff at that age is even more disappointing as that is so not typical behaviour of the breed ,i have to question if its a pure Bullmastiff as no sane breeder would suggest that amount of exercise in there paperwork & would stress limiting the exercise vocally . But you have an issue & will have a bigger one long term aka agreesion will be a bigger problem than the hole digging especially in a rental . You need to seriously re assess this pup & what is going on & get some training,routine & taking a big step back from the over exercising that may very well have her in pain

5 months and human aggressive thats a big concern . Protection & aggression is not the same nor an excuse for such dangerous behaviour

Well people seem to think its cruel BUT when the puppy farm bills went out for public opinions most of joe public supported spaying ,early spaying will be a result of many of those bills & people thinking it wont affect them ,welcome to "be careful what you wish for" .Its not a puppy farm bill its a "All breeder bill" Breeders with ANKC are fighting for this kind of issue to not happen but look at SA new puppy rules . Hmm as to the Australian Ladradoodle breeders that where proven with issues ,i dare say they know breed Cobberdogs

You still have the issue is it a pure potential Dingo or just a another half breed stray running around. Kelpies also come in a variety of Colours so the colour is very possible

No to baby wipes & you need to not over wipe but encourage soothing .If her privates become to sore she will not want to wee which is an issue Never heard of the product your using & looking it up doesn't sound the best for UTI . Diet can play a big role on a UTI prone animal. AS for vets try Kudah Dr Boekleman (only)who is very offay with GSD & a reproduction vet https://www.kudahvet.com.au/

Inverted is very easy to spot & any half wit vet can tell you . What is her toilet routine ,does she squat into her pee,is she an obsessive licker of her privates . What diet is she on . Cranberry tablets or even better Liquid chlorophyll can be used for reoccuring UTI's ,Consider using sudacream on her vulva as the burning can really create another issue with a sore private so try to ease the pain for piddling . Agree inform the breeder ,does she have any other issues bad ears ,yeast issues ??

When was her last season many bitches can do massive coat dumps after a season . Hormonal coat itching on some entire bitches can be a big issue . Thyroid is certainly a contender & well worth ruling out . Our friends have Tibbies & they drop coat like no tomorrow & constantly itches she is an entire bitch with a tight top coat ,never had the big Tibbie coat . Have they tried the Cytopoint injection fro allergies

We use Yakult but bloody poo after being given a product could be a small bout of colitis which is a warning sign. What happens if you just feed one meal ??or is this not an option . We have never used a dog stuff & only use anything if required . Dogs can do soft poos if muscle sore in the stomach . You could also try Chlorophyll which is human stuff but so a great product for many things . We use it when our girls are in season & i started to use it on one of my older boys who was getting a bad breathe (no teeth issues etc etc ) he was getting random loose stools & gets bowen treatment regularly but feel it was a result of his arthritis playing up & affecting him in general ,since putting him onto it no smelly breathe,stomach back to normal & the product helps with inflammation so all good we will be using it as a general product for all our dogs due to its other uses & ourselves

The suit isn't going to solve the issue of ear & nose & it needs to be perfectly made to fit the dog in question otherwise there a nightmare for the dogs to wear correctly as i had water proof ones but sold them as there where more trouble than not for the brief time i used them & not all dogs will walk in them . Would be potentially cheaper to get false turf & limit the area she can walk around

Dogs Vic wont be able to help . The Sheltie club would be your best chance as the breeder may no longer breed & no one may have used there dogs so no guarantee the lines are still out there & if they are would have new lines in there

I would ditch puppy school and contact manners n more they do class training but with all the right aspects aka self control etc etc

I would be asking the puppy school trainer before you attend classes what strategy they would use for the issues your dog has.There are terrible puppy classes out there that will make your pup worse because there theory is they will get over it or the forced to interact in an environment that is too overwhelming .

Mind you these questions you should be asking the breeder,its there responsibility to give you sound advice.Have you asked them ?? It depends on your pup as to what she will or wont be able to do ,tolerate long term

I would source a qualified trainer who will come to your home and see what the dog does and teach you how to manage and control the puppy . Dont do it yourself with friends and the likes as you may unknowingly be handling it the wrong way and setting the dog up for a fail . Having someone to guide in the right process whilst pup is you g is a must and the sooner the better Its a strange reaction if it’s good with the family ,any chance that first person did something unknowingly has left a unhappy memory for this pup. I totally agree in phoning the breeder

14 months is not old so the price is reasonable Providing it has been we’ll socialised. . We charge full price at that age too because people are getting a well trained adult dog

Mine too get bowen every month & i have an equissage hand machine & redlight therapy pad . I have also used rock tape on the dogs when required to assist

The sheltie breeders i know tape & use a coin .Glueing we have done on our breed but it requires dedication & result is for a very different ear set to a Sheltie

I have a dog on anitinol but hes young & more for preventive issues but do know people who i value there opinion who have had success with there dogs issues . Never had any real raving success with Rose hip & the dogs got the runs on it . Have you tried Schuessler salts muscle relexant tablets ,i have a dog on those & see more success with those & he is on them permanently

Dogs from Asia do quarantine the requirements are just the same as any other country except NZ .

Cavaliers are a sporting spaniel ,highly intelligent thrive at obedience & are highly competitive in the obedience world ,they are a real dog that people turn into needy . Yep they shed,can snore & wake the dead .They are athletic,active,smart infact i find them more stable than Poodles(again though its what the owners create ) These aren't hand bag dogs . Grooming on a Cavie is easy BUT when spayed they can get the crazy spay coat which can make it more challenging ,grooming regularly is a must spayed or not . I have owned one & have friends who are breed/show Cavies there not the breed for everyone & there not the breed many imply they are aka couch potato ,there happy learning,pleasing & being a real dog

Plenty of Cavie owners work full time & the dogs do very well ,infact many breeders still work . Yes some will not place out in a working home most do ,contact breeders be honest & just be prepared for some No's. All dogs like company BUT it doesn't mean the stay at home family are any better than the working family infact most working families are great owners because they make the effort to go out n about with there dog where some stay at home feel there at home that is enough . How to prepare as you plan in adulthood,all dogs need to learn coping skills & how to be independent & that starts from day 1 . Raise it will respect,love & mindful its a dog (not a furbaby ) & you will have a lovely family member

Many who do the puppy email forms often just have them there for the stage when pups are born,sexes known & basic outline of what your after. Some reply often it does state on there pages the process . What breed are you after ??

Also many emails go to the junk pile or if like us had no end of issues with NBN & no working internet far too often. Plus many are away showing ,judging ,have life commitments yes it can be frustrating but selling puppies isn't there full time job . Email them again or phone . We get alot of emails,many with no heading,strange headings & they often end up in junk mail or the email address is deemed junk with our system . I agree Christmas is a bad time so many emails wanting christmas puppies that you do need to walk away from the computer some nights . For the DOL advertised pup make sure the heading clearly states older dog on DOL but not saying this is you but we have advertised the odd older dog CLEARLY outlining the home & other important info regarding the dog & get umpteen emails from people replying who want the dog BUT the complete opposite to the dog in question which is very frustrating for us as well or the emails that sound so pushy that this is the right pup for them you get alarm bells .Granted all should be answered but time sometimes gets away from us . Dont be in such a rush ,when you find the right breeder things will go great ,at present it sounds like you are just sending emails in all directions but not actually getting to know the breeder ,the ideas,beliefs & finding out if there the right people for you

No to a furminator .They could use a coat rake but a good slicker,comb & above all using the tools weekly is all they need.
